Baekhyun launched his solo career in 2019 with the release of his debut mini-album City Lights, featuring the sultry title track “UN Village.” The music video has since amassed over 58 million views, marking the beginning of what would become a powerhouse solo journey. Since then, Baekhyun has released a string of successful projects including Delight, Bambi, Hello, World, and his latest release, Essence of Reverie.
Each album showcases a different facet of Baekhyun’s artistry. While his sound is rooted in R&B, his seamless ability to shift between pop and emotionally rich ballads—especially in OSTs—demonstrates his unmatched versatility. With years of experience under his belt as both a celebrated vocalist and dynamic performer, expectations were high for his Reverie tour and he more than delivered.
The moment a VCR began to play, signaling the start of the show, the crowd erupted with excitement. As fog filled the stage, Baekhyun emerged in a stylish dark denim-on-denim outfit, alongside his dancers.

The energy surged again with “Lemonade,” right before Baekhyun returned to where it all began—“UN Village.” The track, with its hypnotic groove, was met with thunderous cheers, solidifying its place as a timeless fan favorite.
Throughout the show, Baekhyun frequently paused to interact with fans, showcasing his humor and charm. He joked about the origin of Sugar Land’s name, playfully questioning whether the city was named after candy. “I love sweets, so this feels like destiny,” he quipped, earning laughter and cheers from the crowd. He also threw in fun facts about Texas, noting its size and weather with amusement, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude for the fans who came out to see him, especially those who had waited years to see him live again.
He continued with a moving run of tracks including “Truth Be Told,” “Cold Heart,” and “Psycho,” which added emotional depth to the night’s flow. Fans held their breath as he performed “Black Dreams,” followed by upbeat favorites “Betcha” and “Candy,” which had the entire arena on their feet and dancing.
The high-energy vibe carried into “Elevator,” “Poppin’,” and the groovy “No Problem.” Baekhyun’s impeccable vocals never faltered, even as he bounced across the stage, feeding off the energy of the crowd. “All I Got” and “Cry For Love” showcased his raw vocal power. Even if you wanted to sing, you wouldn’t in order to enjoy the beauty of his voice.
As the night drew to a close, Baekhyun brought the audience into a dreamy world with “Love Again” and “Amusement Park.” By this point, the stage was awash with confetti, painting a picture-perfect end to a night full of passion, nostalgia, and artistic brilliance.
